Hair pitch black like the midnight sky
Eyes like the jungle, you're something wild
Her sweet melody sings wherever I go
Running through my mind, sitting in this road

Maybe I'll
Write a letter from this little old country town
Down in Texas (ooh)
I'll keep it here for you

Mariella, Mariella, Mariella, Mariella
Mariella, Mariella, Mari', can we go together?

Nothing here changes, seasons go by
You said, Hello, you said, Goodbye
Did you run away? Mariella, where did you go?
Somewhere new, somewhere old

Maybe I'll
Don't ever wanna live alone in a country town
Down in Texas (ah)
With the memory of you

Mariella, Mariella, Mariella, Mariella
Mariella, Mariella, Mariella, Mariella
Mariella, Mariella, Mariella, Mariella
Mariella, Mariella, Mariella, holding on to you

Ooh

Ooh
Hm-mm
Hm-mm, mm-mm
Hm-mm, hm
Ooh
Ooh
Mariella
